Microsoft is aiming to launch its Windows Terminal application in the first half of next year, or potentially “around February/March” according to itsblog post. The new app, which is currently available on the Microsoft Store as a preview, combines the Command Prompt, PowerShell, Windows Subsystem for Linux, and the Security Shell into a single command-line interface for Windows 10.

Microsoft has been putting effort into the preview version of Windows Terminal. The company has addedaccessibility support,dynamic profiles, many bug fixes, and more recentlymultiple panes and tab organization.

Being able to manage all command lines into a single interface will allow developers to better keep their work organized for increased efficiency. Microsoft has chosen to make theapp’s code available open source on GitHub, and is also taking suggestions from users before its full release next year.

The company will continue to release preview builds each month for individuals to test and provide feedback on before polishing and providing performance improvements ahead of the launch of version 1.0.

What do you think of the Windows Terminal so far? Are there any features or improvements you’d like to see before its official release?

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
